12
13  <para>In the final-system build, you are no longer cross-compiling so it
14  is possible to run package testsuites. Some test suites are more important
15  than others. For example,  the test suites for the core toolchain
16  packages&mdash;GCC, Binutils, and Glibc&mdash;are of the utmost
17  importance due to their central role in a properly functioning system.
18  The test suites for GCC and Glibc can take a very long time to complete,
19  especially on slower hardware, but are strongly recommended.</para>
20
21  <para>A common issue with running the test suites for Binutils and GCC
22  is running out of pseudo terminals (PTYs). This can result in a high
23  number of failing tests. This may happen for several reasons, but the
24  most likely cause (if you chrooted) is that the host system does not have the
25  <systemitem class="filesystem">devpts</systemitem> file system set up
26  correctly. This issue is discussed in greater detail at
27  <ulink url="&faq-root;#no-ptys"/>.</para>
28
29  <para>Sometimes package test suites will fail, but for reasons which the
30  developers are aware of and have deemed non-critical. Consult the logs located
31  at <ulink url="&test-results;"/> to verify whether or not these failures are
32  expected. This site is valid for all tests throughout this book.</para>
